@enioch – so you agree with my reading.. thats good!
@d.giessmann – the Val & Kate are in the main rulebook from what I hear 🙂 …theres over 40 pages per nation!… most of the mongoose v2 beta is included…
also some of the US distributors are putting the Sub & MTB boxes up for pre-order … so hopefully we’ll see them at the same time as…[Read more]

So your saying ignore the dogfight completely?
Note I’m not talking tactics about if you should engage the attacking bomber flight or not ….purely what would happen if you did

invisible officer replied to the topic Question about equiping Nid-late war US Marine NCOs with pistols in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 10 months ago
I wrote LMG, not SMG. It surely affects the leaders job. A good leader is not just showing his rank signs, he commands. And for that he needs all his senses to control the fight.
Holding that weapon is no problem but serving it is.  A LMG demanded a lot of “love” to work. So both crewman had to focus on that job. No time left to look wha…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Nice Knee-Jerk on the Tiger Fear Warlord… in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 10 months ago
So a little of history mixed with a bit of game play… using tank veterancy rules as a base idea…here is Nats idea! ™ :p
Tiger fear : 1943 onwards. All German tanks with an armour value of 8+
If an activating unit can draw LoS to a unit with this rule it must take an order check or change its order to down or run, and must end its…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Most interesting Allied force in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 10 months ago
So define intresting….
looks / modeling – you’ve got the IFFÂ late 1944, so you can do a mix of free french in US & British uniforms with US armour + resistance fighters (with IFF arm bands) & supporting SAS / para’s /rangers
You’ve got British /Free french/dutch/norwegian etc commandos
LRDG (long range desert group) for that raiders with…[Read more]

Nat started the topic Bombers, dogfights & ships…what happens? in the forum Victory At Sea 3 years, 10 months ago
So a question came up on the wardroom today… so I thought I’d see what opions here is!
Scenario – there is a bomber flight (dive / torp /bomber..doesnt matter) thats touching the base of an enemy ship. Also touching the bomber flight but not the ship (not that would matter) is an enemy flight…
Now RAW doesnt say anything about this…so…[Read more]

invisible officer replied to the topic Nice Knee-Jerk on the Tiger Fear Warlord… in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 10 months ago
I understand that peoples dislike the Tiger fear. But it was a well intended rule based on history,  a psychological rule based on the Allied hystery about Tigers. Adding historical flavor.
We have literally hundreds of reports of being attacked by Tigers – with no kitten around for a hundred miles.
And in many Allied soldiers ran from “T…[Read more]

invisible officer replied to the topic Question about equiping Nid-late war US Marine NCOs with pistols in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 10 months ago
That gamy discussions about words.  I can just repeat, officers and NCO are with a unit to lead, not to kill themselves. Serving a LMG makes their true job impossible.
So they should loose any officer / NCO Bonus.
And yes, it’s no historical simulation. But based on history.      And real world. You can’t do many things at same time. Th…[Read more]

Not that thick can stuff but that formerly used on toothpaste tubes. They are today mostly made from plastic but other stuff still comes in that foil material. It is ideal.

Got a reply from  Rick. I don’t think he’d mind me posting it here. Nice answer I thought.
– basically – you can’t be in a wood unless you are in open order –on page 38 – Woods. Most formed units require a move to change formation (formed light units can do so as part of a normal move but cannot charge at the same time) p36. Aside from skirmish…[Read more] -
Nat replied to the topic Nice Knee-Jerk on the Tiger Fear Warlord… in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 10 months ago
I think they should take a leaf out of the Victory at sea book…where you set a year for your game..
that way you can put tiger fear as a national rule instead of a vehicle rule – ie 1944 & 1945 applys to all medium and heavy tanks
just an idea for v3….:p

SteveT replied to the topic Is Hail Caesar dying? in the forum Hail Caesar 3 years, 10 months ago
Yes, I think it might be partly due to the fact that Warlord don’t rules the ancients’ wargaming world. Â Might change as they bring out more figures? I am so late to the party that I would’ve expected more presence here, on what must surely be the main forum for the game?
I think the strength of the openness of the Hail Caesar rules (and Black…[Read more]

The rules are just one side, the problem for the Forum  are the miniatures. The Warlord ancients are good but there are other companies with very good ancients. In old Forum that was no problem. We could show them too.
Last week I had a bigger battle setting on my table. But Punic wars – so not Warlord. And my EIR are metal, pre Warlord era…[Read more]

Based on how few respond here, my suspicion is it might have fallen out of fashion. Bolt Action gets responses in moments sometimes.

Nat replied to the topic Pintle mounted Bren – bren carrier in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 10 months ago
The crew of a transport can use 1 weapon per order…any others need to be used by the tranported squads (note if the squad cant shoot such as medics then they cant use the transports weapons).
It doesnt matter which weapon the tranport crew use… and can change between orders..
If the weapon is attached to the vehicle then its left with the…[Read more]
